    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    Journalism Ethics is the first volume to combine a practitioner focus and a theoretical focus in the analysis of the ethical problems that journalists face today. The 18 new essays collected here examine the goals and purposes of journalism, provide a conceptual evaluation of key ethical concerns, and make sensible recommendations for ethical practice. Journalism Ethics provides sophisticated undergraduates and early graduates with a unified text on the subject.

    Long description:

    Since the introduction of radio and television news, journalism has gone through multiple transformations, but each time it has been sustained by a commitment to basic values and best practices.

    Journalism Ethics is a reminder, a defense and an elucidation of core journalistic values, with particular emphasis on the interplay of theory, conceptual analysis and practice. The book begins with a sophisticated model for ethical decision-making, one that connects classical theories with the central purposes of journalism. Top scholars from philosophy, journalism and communications offer essays on such topics as objectivity, privacy, confidentiality, conflict of interest, the history of journalism, online journalism, and the definition of a journalist. The result is a guide to ethically sound and socially justified journalism-in whatever form that practice emerges.

    Journalism Ethics will appeal to students and teachers of journalism ethics, as well as journalists and practical ethicists in general.

    Impressive.
